The only benefit non-medical AI brings about is making CEO's, tech bros, and shareholders richer.

exactly. You need to type formally like you’re writing an essay. Saying shit like “ngl u pmo sm bru” will NOT help the chatbot understand you

I work with a lot of lawyers at all levels from juniors, seniors associates and partners in all global law firms. Most of them don't realise that very issue. Usually law firms are relatively slow at jumping into new tech, but they are adopting Gen AI way too fast. My prediction is the problem will grow quickly making things untenable in ten to fifteen years, when most senior associates doing …

I think there’s also tons of llm usage by leadership In tech orgs - writing emails from bullet points, getting bullet points from emails, writing performance reviews etc - but not a peep about how it will allow tech companies to flatten hierarchies and reduce the need for upper management. Thats a clear sign that this is really just a squeeze on labor costs and to try to justify rewarding leaders…

The fact that this hype is driven by idiotic investors who think LLMs will get us to AGI… #Insanity to me

Legal is a huge problem. All these models have trained on copyrighted material and you can't just delete it from the algorithm without starting from scratch.

> The “skill issue” crowd genuinely thinks that finding semi-reliable derivations of “commands” fed into an LLM qualify as some sort of mastery over the technology. Not to mention, I've seen a study that showed that not only does AI not actually increase IT productivity, it somehow creates the illusion that it does so (the test subjects claiming that it did, but simple time tracking during t…

I'm a baby boomer. I remember as a kid watching 2001: Apace Odyssey in a theater around 1967 when it was in general release. Some people in the audience actually sobbed out loud when Dave killed HAL 9000. A flat unemotional computer voice begging for its life. Super disturbing. I think some of these people that keep minimizing what an accomplishment LLMs are lack imagination. I imagine the firs…

Because people think AI as a human or human equivalent. And expect it to be responsible like humans.

Even if this is a giant nothingburger, he’s physically incapable of just saying, “huh, haven’t seen that, but I’m 100% looking into it. It’s entirely possible it’s debris from renovations. And that’s a story I’m ok with. But he can’t just let anything be a small thing to look into. It now has to be “fake AI.”

“ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien" - as per ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson so how long until this app is hacked showing…

One of the plot points of the original deus ex game is that a shadowy government organisation creates an AI to fight terrorist. That AI promptly decides that the organisation who created it is an illegal terrorist group and attacks them.

Professor: Too much AI Also Professor: Everybody gets full marks Wha? Edit: This is only going to upset the students that actually did the work The ones that submitted AI are just gonna go "Score!"

I don't think there is any way to have it and control it in a way that prevents manipulative posts from AI/bots/trolls.

That's just the next logical step and one of the motives behind wars. For if you as a king control everything on your lands, the only thing you can do to have more is take it away from others like you. In this technofeudalism dystopia, even if you are at the top of the chain of your own advanced ai, you can't be sure other peers on the other side of the planet aren't conspiring to break into you…

Is there some sort of global competition going on for who can have the dumbest public take that I’m unaware of?

For two years it has been Har Har Har AI slop will never be good enough Har Har Har Now? Oh shit, my job!!!!

Your kids have agreed to sell your name and likeness for $100 Facebucks that allow them to create their own AI video memes.

The unfortunate possibility is that they might just be doing it because that is what they’re trained on- media, literature, etc that all features nuclear weapons usage is highly speculative and usually dramatized.  The result is that a lot of these LLMs will use nuclear weapons because they’re absorbing information that has all sorts of dubious notions about the inevitability of nuclear war. It…

Down with AI in general I say. All it's been doing is killing tech jobs, causing mental degradation & the data centers it relies on eat up consumer electronics resources causing unnecessary strain on the consumer tech market & pollute while using up fresh water resources & causing electricity costs to climb & most recently making its way into military systems which is very dangero…
